1. Whose name does the contract agent sign?
If authorized, please sign the name of the signatory.
Citizens and legal persons may carry out civil legal acts through agents. An agent carries out civil legal acts in the name of the principal within the scope of agency authority. The principal shall bear civil liability for the agent's agency behavior.
If there is no agency, beyond the agency or after the termination of the agency, the principal can bear civil liability only after ratification by the principal. If the act is not ratified, the actor shall bear civil liability. Knowing that someone else has committed a civil act in my name without denying it is regarded as consent.
An entrustment contract is a contract in which the principal and the trustee agree that the trustee will handle the principal's affairs. The trustor may entrust the trustee to handle one or more specific affairs, or may entrust the trustee to handle all general affairs.
2. Is the agent responsible for signing the contract?
The legal responsibilities related to the acts carried out by the agent within the scope of agency authority belong to the principal and the principal!
The power of attorney signed by the agent and the principal has clearly defined the scope of the agent's agency authority, which is legally binding and protected by law. Therefore, when an agent enters into a contract beyond the scope of authorization, he must bear the legal consequences arising therefrom. A legal person may carry out civil juristic acts through an agent. An agent carries out civil legal acts in the name of the principal within the scope of agency authority. The principal shall bear civil liability for the agent's agency behavior.
(1) The principal shall conduct necessary inspection and supervision on the agent to prevent the agent from exceeding the agency right and abusing the agency right to harm the interests of the principal.
(2) When signing a contract with the agent of the other party, it is necessary to check whether the agent has the power of agency and whether it is a legal act within the agency's authority. You can ask him to show the agency agreement, or confirm with the other party whether he has the agency right.
(3) Export credit insurance covers risks related to the credit of a specific buyer. The seller should apply for the buyer's quota instead of the buyer's agent in the contract, and the payer and consignee should also be the buyers in the contract. If the buyer of the goods is not the buyer approved by the quota, the seller's losses will not be insured, which will lead to the export credit insurance institutions refusing to compensate the seller's losses when they are in danger.
To sum up, the agent also needs to bear certain legal responsibilities when signing the contract. The specific responsibilities need to be further determined according to the nature of the contract, and it is best to know clearly before signing the contract. The parties may conclude a contract in writing, orally or in other forms.
